Stokes is elevated to senior creative following her work on Paper Moose’s brand work for Uniting NSW.ACT and the launch of travel platform Klook’s first major Australian campaign.
“We’ve grown the way we like to grow. Senior tastemakers who will push the work to the next level, paired with a bleeding edge tech stack to enable them. Chris, Michael, Daniel and Lili each bring something we needed more of, and Jazz and Hannah have been delivering incredible work while simultaneously leading the charge shaping our tools over the last few years,” said Nick Hunter, founder, CEO and ECD of Paper Moose.
“The calibre of people choosing an independent like us says a lot about where the industry is heading.”
